You keep focusing on climate change denialists. I am with you on that. It is irrational to dismiss the findings of a multitude of good well-meaning scientists across a wide spectrum of scientific disciplines.
Having said that, climate change denialists are not the problem. In fact, they are great for proponents of solar and wind because it shifts the conversation to how dumb and evil the denialists are instead of seeing how bad wind and solar are for the environment and climate change action.
Look at our conversation. You keep going back to denialists and not actually any answer any question I have on renewables. And annoyingly you keep linking me with climate-change denialists. Can you stop? Being skeptical about renewables is not the same as denying climage-change or for action to comabt climate-change.
>Yes the guy in the video sounds like he's talking to very slow children.
That wasn't my concern. My objection was that he skirted answering a question in the same place that everyone from the cult of renewables does. It always ends up with an argument that we just need to tap human ingenunity to invent new technology just as we did when we went to the moon. Maybe we can, maybe we can't. Going to the moon turns out to be easier than a lot of other things that feel like they should be easy.
>Just repeating "this isn't possible" when lots of domain experts think it will be isn't convincing.
I listed reasons why it isn't possible. You sent me a link that argued the same except the youtuber argued we just need a 'can-do-attitude'.
Let me send you a link. Here's a 'Real Engineering' Youtube video on reasonable issues with (California's) renewables: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h5cm7HOAqZY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h5cm7HOAqZY and even that video ends in the same place ... we just need to invent new battery technologies.
